PITTSBURGH -- All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon was named the Dodgers' winner for the 2014 Heart & Hustle Award by the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association.

Winners from each team are chosen by a committee of alumni players based on passion, desire and work ethic on and off the field. Later in the season, fans, alumni and active players will select a final winner from the 30 team reps.

The final winner will be announced Nov. 18 at the 15th Annual Legends for Youth Dinner in New York.
